Edmonton Tarot: Temperance (XIV)

Interpretation: The Temperance card is all about reconciling and integrating opposites in order to gain balance in the midst of upheaval. It is important to seek compatibility while being flexible and adaptable. Avoid extremes.

Image: This photo is from the snow-filled front yard of My Rare One's and my home. Part of our annual Christmas lights display is this rope-light palm tree that we brought back from Maui a few years ago. Anyway, this photo is trying to illustrate Temperance by contrasting the tropical palm tree with the winter snow. Yeah, yeah, it's the best I could do.

Love the tree analogy of Temperance. Funny how things are smack dab right in front of your face without knowing it.Glad you liked the smiling moose hamming it up. I try to please even my friends up North.

Your tree is so much fun! I remember when first moving to CA years ago, the palm trees always were a bit of a shock, my eyes were constantly drawn to them, just because they were different. After a couple of years, I didn't really notice them. It's fun to see something like that in unfamiliar surroundings!

I love the contrast of the palm tree with the snow. I would love it more without snow...but then I guess there would be no contrast. Still....I am totally sick of snow. Turns out I am a failure at being flexible and adaptable.

~hey it works...thinking outside the box! sometimes...sometimes i just DON'T want to be flexible and adaptable...a battle at times...and is one that usually winds up not taking or getting me anywhere...happy weekend ahead...much love light and blessings~

I like temperance in my readings. It is a card that represents machurity for me because i do not do silver linings. I am an all or nothing kind of gal. Someday, somehow, i will get there!By the way the 5 leaf clovers are considered extremely lucky especially when it comes to money and they are supposed to break hexes. On the other hand there is a lore about them saying the exact opposite that they bring extreme bad luck to the person who finds them. I believe the first and that is why the last time the fairies gave me one i took it and put it in my money charm pouch. Have a wonderful weekend!
